Clínica Tambre is a pioneering medical-surgical centre specialised in gynaecology and fertility located in the heart of Madrid. It was founded in 1978 and is a private clinic. In 2017 it carried out about 1000 treatment cycles. Its mission is to help patients fulfil their dream of giving birth to a healthy baby, and contribute to the development of science, medicine and society. Clínica Tambre is also known by the overarching name Mistral Fertility Clinics, SL.
The former president, Dr. Pedro Caballero, started his career in assisted reproduction over 40 years ago, which makes Clínica Tambre Madrid’s most-experienced medical centre in the field of fertility. With more than 56 published scientific studies, Caballero is considered a strong reference among the scientific community. Furthermore, Dr. Pedro Caballero used his experience in andrology to create the second Spanish semen bank in 1980. His entire team shares his ambition, commitment and dedication, this allows Clínica Tambre to position itself as a top-level clinic within and outside of Spain. However, the key to Caballero’s success is not only due to his 40 years of experience and entrepreneurial spirit. Clínica Tambre also stands out in offering patients warm and personalised care, success rates well above the Spanish and European average, an excellent medical team and the deployment of the most accurate and recent technology.
Clínica Tambre was completely renovated in 2018, the year in which Inge Kormelink took charge of Tambre. There are two laboratories; one destined for IVF and the other for andrology. After treatment, patients can enjoy the comfort of private recovery rooms, of which there are 6.

Dr. Laura Garcia de Miguel
Clínica Tambre has the largest and longest-standing sperm bank in Madrid and provides samples to other clinics all over Spain; the sperm bank is professionalised in both the male and female factor. Clínica Tambre is committed to quality controls. Tambre was the first in Spain to receive ISO accreditations; ISO 9001:2015 as well as ISO 14001 and the Health Ministry regulation UNE 179007. They are the only European clinic to have received the EFQM European Quality Management Finalists Award in 2005 & 2008. Apart from their own bio-sample tracking systems, they have also a system called Witness. It consists of an RF Card (radio frequency card) given to patients which locks the patient’s identity to the sperm, eggs and embryos at every stage of the treatment.
Clinica Tambre IVF Treatment Options
The following fertility treatments and procedures are available at Clinica Tambre:
- IUI (intrauterine insemination) and AID (artificial insemination with donor)
- IVF/ICSI
- Egg donation (own egg bank)
- Sperm donation (own sperm bank)
- Embryo donation
- Fertility Preservation/Social Freezing
- the ROPA method (Reciprocal IVF for same-sex lesbian couples)
- Embryo freezing
- Sperm freezing
Also, diagnostics tests are available:
- CometFertility® is a diagnostic test performed to obtain a diagnosis related to the male factor. This technique analyses the DNA fragmentation that can occur in a sperm sample
- Chromosperm and FISH – these tests allow embryologists from the Andrology Laboratory to evaluate the global chromosome content of the sperm cells in your partner’s sample. This is a fast and effective way of detecting the overall genetic load that could affect the success of your treatment
- KIR and HLA-C Genotyping – dedicated to patients with a history of implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages. It is a study of the compatibility between uterine KIR receptors (killer immunoglobulin-like receptors) and the HLA-C molecules that the embryo will present and that will be recognized by these receptors
- myPrenatal® – is an advanced prenatal screening test, which analyses cell-free foetal DNA and studies the possible existence of chromosomal abnormalities. It detects three of the most frequent trisomies in the foetus: Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome, as well as two sex chromosomal alterations: Turner syndrome (45, X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY).
- PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is an Assisted Reproduction technique that allows us to study the genetic material of embryos before they are transferred and select the healthiest embryos to ensure that no chromosome or genetic abnormalities are present.
At Clinica Tambre, patients can benefit from the following technologies being applied:
- Embryo monitoring (GERI-incubator) allows monitoring of the embryos through a time-lapse system without extracting them from the medium
- Fenomatch – the latest technique to find an egg or sperm donor who has a similar phenotype to you and your partner
- RI Witness™ – a security system that identifies the semen, egg, and embryo samples of each patient.
If you happen to be diagnosed with an endometrial factor, Clinica Tambre is the right clinic for you. Their specialists deal with endometrial issues and displaced window of implantation. You may want to read “Endometrial Factor and Displaced Window of Implantation | Real Patient Success Stories” where we present two couples with a history of two failed IVF cycles each and, finally diagnosed with displaced window of implantation.
